SUBJECT:
FREEWHEEL
BLOCKAGE
HELICOPTERS AFFECTED:
Serial numbers 4 through 4690 and 5101 through
5313.
COMPLIANCE:
Part I - No later than 100 flight hours or
31 December 2014, whichever comes first.
ASSEMBLY
OIL
SUPPLY
Part II – 100 flight hours or 3 months, whichever
comes first, following the accomplishment of Part I of
this ASB.
Part III – Every 300 flight hours or 12 months,
whichever comes first, following completion of Part I
or Part II of this ASB.
DESCRIPTION:
Bell Helicopter Textron has received reports of helicopters with a blocked restrictor
located in the oil supply to the freewheel assembly. A restrictor blocked for an
undetermined period of operational time could cause the freewheel assembly to
malfunction. The restrictor(s) may become contaminated during maintenance which
may block the orifice. Part I of this bulletin requires that filter 50-075-1, restrictor 206040-254-001 or 206-040-244-001, and the hose and fittings between the transmission
and restrictor be removed, cleaned, inspected, and reinstalled. Part II of this bulletin
requires that for specific helicopters that have not incorporated TB 206-79-31,
installation of this filter is now required. Part III of this bulletin introduces a 300 flight
hour or 12 month, whichever comes first, recurring inspection and cleaning of filter 50075-1 and restrictor 206-040-254-001 or 206-040-244-001.
Applicability of this bulletin to any spare part shall be determined prior to its installation
on an affected helicopter.

-NOTEDirect the low air pressure toward the orifice side of the
restrictors (10, 2, and 21, as applicable).
a. With dry, filtered low air pressure (15 PSI maximum), remove all solvent from
the uncapped lines, hoses, and fittings.
b. Make sure that all the restrictors are free and clear of any contamination. Refer
to Table 1 for the diameters of the restrictor orifices.
6. Assemble and install all removed fittings, restrictors, filter, and hose as follows:
a. For helicopters S/N 4 through 253 and 914 through 4690:
CAUTION
Make sure all caps remain on all lines, hoses, fittings, and
ports until they are installed/connected.
-NOTEFor the correct location of the parts, refer to Figure 1 of this
ASB.
-NOTEThe use of assembly fluid (C-024) is the preferred lubricant
to use during the installation of the packings.
